Highest Paid YouTuber Is 8-Years-Old, Earns $26 Million In 2019
HIGHEST PAID YOUTUBER – YouTube has evolved into a platform where content creators can thrive and make a living out of making videos.
There are several types of content in the platform from gaming to vlogging and make-up. On YouTube, one of the biggest non-company run channels is Pewdiepie’s. But, he still isn’t the highest-paid YouTuber on the platform.
Instead, an 8-year-old kid named Ryan Kaji, best known for in his channel, “Ryan’s ToysReviews” is the highest-paid YouTuber. According to a list published by Forbes magazine, his channel made $26 million in 2019.
This makes Ryan the top-earning creator on the platform. According to an article from ABS-CBN, Kaji’s real name is Ryan-Guan, who already was last year’s highest-paid YouTuber with $22 million.
In his channel, Ryan does unboxing videos of the latest toys and plays with them. Several of his videos have already gotten more than a billion views.
In addition to this, the channel already has over 35 billion views since it started. However, Ryan’s ToysReviews was renamed after a consumer advocacy organization filed a complaint with the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC).
Truth in Advertising accused Ryan’s channel of not specifying whether the toys he’s reviewing are sponsored or not. This would mean that brands actually pay him to review their products.
On the second-place spot, “Dude Perfect” earned $20 million between June 1, 2018, and June 1, 2019. In third place was also a child star’s channel.
Russia’s Anastasia Radzinskaya earned $18 million at just the age of 5. She has two channels, “Like Nastya Vlog” and “Funny Stacy” which has about 70 million subscribers with videos in Russian, English, and Spanish.
